The sukui-uke, or scooping block, is an effective technique for capturing or redirecting oncoming kicks and/or strikes. In this video, Chip Quimby demonstrates and breaks down the fundamental components of this technique and highlights best practices along with the most common mistakes to avoid.
The first method covered is the sukui-age-uke, or “rising scooping block” which is utilized in a number of various martial arts from karate and kung fu to muay thai. The primary goal of this technique is to seize and capture kicks that fail to be quickly retracted by the attacker, which can then be exploited using a number of effective kicking and striking counters.
The second method covered is the harai-sukui-uke, or “sweeping scooping block” which is primarily used for redirecting mid and high-level kicks, which can then be directly attacked or simply avoided while still maintaining your relative position. This technique utilizes circular energy against the attack and allows the defender a unique opportunity to maintain their position, relative to the attacker, and deploy a number of offensive counter attacks.
Being effective for both full-contact martial arts as well as practical self-defense makes this technique popular across a spectrum of various martial arts.
Careful attention is places on helping practitioners understand the “boundaries” of this technique and what specifically is necessary to ensure its effective application.
